John Terry - New England Captain

John Terry has been named as the new captain of the England football team.
The 25-year-old was confirmed on Thursday as the successor to David Beckham, who stepped down as England captain after the World Cup.

Chelsea skipper Terry has won 29 caps since making his debut against Serbia and Montenegro on 3 June 2003.

Terry begins his reign as captain in Steve McClaren's first match in charge of the national team, a friendly against Greece on 16 August. [/b]

Why is there such a big deal made over the England captain? All it means is that whoever it has the armband has to deal with the media. In football, captain doesn't really mean all that much these days.
